Here's how far along I am now. Still need to add more detail, especially to the black parts of the birds, somehow. But I like how they look now that they have some more color.
The magpie in the middle has snow on its beak, a common sight around here in the winter. :)

I messed around with the rocks today, and added some snow, and white paint with water to make it look like the wind is blowing. I think I may be ready to start on the birds now.

I've started working on the background, did the sky and the trees in the background.

I'm working on a painting of magpies playing games in the snow. Today I finished the underpainting. I decided to use blues for the snowy background. I think I'm gonna have fun with this one.

I probably shouldn't have, but couldn't resist. I've wanted a jewel orchid for a year or two now, and that's the first time I've ever seen them here.

It seems some of the birds are coming back already. We've got male red-winged blackbirds, cranes, killdeer, and I had a turkey vulture fly over my house the other day. I want to think we heard a meadowlark recently, too. March seems a little early for the vultures and meadowlarks.

Finally came up with a plan for the magpie painting I'm taking forever to start. (Had a birthday, anniversary, a cold, some allergies (snow mold I'm thinking... I mean, really?), and Lawrence had off work so we did stuff together.)

Here's the gooseberry/lavender jam jarred up. Will have to try it on something soon, but when I licked the pan, it tasted really good - and the consistency seemed right (yay for high altitudes). It's a pretty color.
(Please forgive the stuff that needs to be wiped off. XD)

My husband and I saw this cool cloud formation the other day. I see a mother bear and her cub.
Saw some bears in the clouds the other day. Does anyone else see a mother on all fours with a playful cub on its hind legs in front.

I've had this cold that's been kicking my arse the past few days. First it was 2 days of headache, and now I'm a snot factory. Oh, well... I'll take the snot over the headache.
On a positive note, the dance pants I ordered came in the mail today, and they fit.

I've been mending stuff lately. I used this patch to cover up the logo on one of my shirts from a former job. Hopefully it stays.

We got some curtains that turned out to be kind of stiff and wouldn't stay open, so I made some curtain holders for them. The blue one at the top on the first picture is the one I used as a reference.

My husband made me a flower press for my birthday. I have a small one, but it's not always big enough for my flowers. Gotta find something creative to do with pressed flowers, since I enjoy pressing them. :)

I'm gonna paint some magpies for my next acrylic painting. I'm planning on three of them. Three, because I saw three of them hanging out on the fence in my yard recently, doing magpie things.

Guess where I went? I went to the Sue exihibit at the Museum of the Rockies! It was pretty cool, I'll have to go again.

From October to December, we didn't get much snow, but now we sure are getting! It's covered the birdbath and teh gardens almost completely now, and is almost halfway up the fence. I feel better about fires this year.
The other photo is of some Hungarian partridges I saw the other day.

Woooow, this is a painting. Acrylic, too.
Another magpie painting, a commission this time. Magpies and other corvid birds are just so popular, I guess they really speak to us with their intelligence and cheeky behaviour. :)
Acrylics on board
